FPGA Design Intern (Summer 2027)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, privacy policy, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Learn More & Apply Now!", "Apply now and be part of the team...". Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to keep substantive info: description, responsibilities, what you will learn, qualifications (must have, preferred), benefits, pay, schedule? The posting mentions salary range (Pay). It mentions benefits (list). It mentions role type Onsite (Schedule? maybe schedule not given). It mentions "Onsite" role type. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections if they have specific content. The posting gives salary range: 37,000 USD - 82,000 USD. That's specific. Benefits: list of medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, holidays. Also mention incentive compensation programs. That's specific enough.
We should not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications Must Have and Preferred? The spec says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. The posting includes Qualifications (must have and preferred). Could map "Qualifications" heading to both must have and preferred. Could also have "Skills" heading for preferred? But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine must have and preferred under Qualifications. Could also have a separate Skills section for preferred? But we need to avoid many thin sections. Let's think: The posting includes "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer". That's qualifications. Could also include "Skills" maybe not needed. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Requirements? The posting includes citizenship requirement (U.S. citizenship required). That could be under Requirements. Also maybe "U.S. citizenship is required" is a requirement. Also maybe "Onsite" role type is schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could include Schedule section if we have info about work schedule (onsite). But spec says only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does state "Position Role Type: Onsite". That's a schedule/location type. Could be considered schedule. However they said "Schedule" heading for schedule info like full-time, part-time, shift. Might be okay to include Onsite as schedule. But we need to avoid filler. It's specific: Onsite. So we could include Schedule section with Onsite.
But we also have location info. Could be minor metadata; we could drop or put in short p. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Location and date posted could be minor metadata. We could include a short p at top with that info.
Thus final HTML: maybe a
with date posted and location. Then
About the role
with paragraph(s) from intro. Then Responsibilities
with - list of What You Will Do. Then
Requirements
with paragraph about U.S. citizenship requirement (maybe also mention no security clearance needed). Could also include that no prior industry experience required? That's more about qualifications. But we can put citizenship under Requirements. Then Qualifications
with two sublists? Could combine must have and preferred into one list? But we need to preserve all info; we could separate must have and preferred as separate under Qualifications heading, maybe with a indicating "Must have:" and "Preferred:". That's okay.
Then
Benefits
with - list of benefits.
Then
Pay
with salary range.
Then
Schedule
